Personal attitude


We are almost finishing the first semester and personally I’m very stressed out. This second year at university made me think about almost everything that is happening in my life. Talking about university and my disposition, I think that at first I was very motivated, but then I started to felt very disappointed about things that I do not like, those things are affecting my academic performance, but I’m doing my best trying to overcome those issues.
Talking about young attitudes, I have to say that almost everyone are being irresponsible classmates, because most of the time they just do not care about homework’s, pop quizzes, cumulative and final oral and writing exams. They just do not care about their future. I remember that about 2 month ago we worked with an interview, and one of my classmates told me that he was studying English pedagogy just because it is an easy course and that he really doesn’t care about it.
To continue with this, I think that these new generations are the “lazy generations” because they never try hard to pursue they dreams or fight for something. I totally fit in this group, because even though I’m not THAT lazy I thing that right now I’m not making any effort to get motivated again with my career. My parents told me that is totally normal to feel this way during this period of my life, and I told them that I never thought that I was going to feel this way, because when I decided to study English Pedagogy I was totally sure that this course was my passion, well, English is my passion, and working with people is one of my passions too. I do not want to sacrifice my favorite career because of these insecurities that I’m having right now, deep in my heart I really want this, but I have to overcome all this little rocks that are in my way to keep going, I’m pretty good at this and I know that, maybe is just that I need a little rest to recuperate all my energies…. I want my vacations!!!! =)

To conclude, Miss: Don’t doubt about your performance as a teacher, because you are great, you are always worried about us, and is very hard to find committed teachers as you are. To be honest I’m very glad that I’m being taught by you, besides your classes are cool, the only thing that is not cool at all and you know that, is our gorgeous Straightforward book, but we can solve this problem inventing a new way to work with it, maybe we can try with a little bit of music or something that we all have in common, our passion… well, right now I’m not sure that we can all say that English pedagogy is our passion, but anyway, the ones that really want this, are the ones that are going to succeed at the end of the road.

  3. I completely agree with you. We are naturally lazy and we can't avoid it. Everything is easy now and fast.

    I think the class mates who are studying pedagogy just because it is easy are totally wrong. They do not mind about kids' future and do not take this seriously. That kind of people make our classes lazy and bored.
